News EditorDairy Checkoff, Industry News, Media

The folks at the Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program (PDPP) are offering free paper placemats to dairy producers that celebrate the dairy farmers of the Keystone state. Be sure to get yours today for your next community banquet, meeting or farm tour!

Developed by PDPP, the full-color, two-sided placemats share the story of Pennsylvania’s dairy farmers on one side and offer dairy activities for children on the flip side.

“People waiting to eat are a captive audience. We have a chance to share that dairy farmers provide the best care for our animals, our land and our families,” said Tom Croner, a Somerset County dairy farmer and chairman of PDPP. “By the time they finish their meals, people will know that each dairy cow contributes $13,737 to the local economy and 3-A-Day™ of Dairy is recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle.”

Measuring 14 inches long by 10 1/2 inches wide, the placemats are shrink-wrapped in packs of 600. The placemats are available on a first-come, first-served basis; please allow two to three weeks for delivery.

More than 35 Hoss’s Steak and Sea House restaurants throughout Pennsylvania used similar placemats during June Dairy Month and in August to increase appreciation of Pennsylvania’s dairy farmers and the healthy products they produce.
